Pros

Friends and family discount. Demo samples purchase.

Cons

It started with lies and continues so far. During interview process they advise one pay rate but then change. During interview they announce a shift but dramatically change after signing employment agreement. Their intention is to squeeze the most out of part-time legislation. One should obviously record all conversations in order later to prove something. The corporate application used in either corporate iPad or personal device obviously tracking all Dyson Experts and Territory Sales Managers. First time in my life and experience I met a manager so inadequate and non competent that a very next day of hiring told to continue looking for better employer and better job. Overall internal organization of business processes as well as HR managements seems to be having serious challenges, considering negative reviews, resignations, inventory management in retail channels, willingness and openness to hear the voice from below. They offer incentive program but it is very complex and intentionally made to hardly achieve. The incentive is sales and growth based but they do not disclose any sales history data.

Pros

solid products. that is where it ends

Cons

Working at Dyson was a mixed experience, but ultimately one that fell short of expectations. While the brand itself is innovative and well-regarded, the internal environment didn’t always reflect that same level of excellence. Leadership was a consistent challenge. There often seemed to be a disconnect between management and the day-to-day realities of employees, which made it difficult to feel supported or aligned on priorities. Decision-making could feel unclear or top-down, with limited transparency or input from teams actually executing the work. Compensation was another downside. Pay did not feel competitive with the broader market, especially considering the expectations and workload. This made it harder to stay motivated long-term and contributed to concerns about career growth and recognition. A major structural issue was the dynamic between the UK headquarters and the U.S. market. Despite the U.S. being the company’s largest and most important market, key decisions were still heavily controlled by the UK HQ. This often led to strategies that didn’t fully reflect the needs or realities of the U.S. business, creating friction and inefficiencies. Overall, while Dyson has strong products and brand equity, the employee experience—particularly in terms of leadership, compensation, and organizational structure—leaves room for improvement.
